This edited volume provides a fresh perspective on the important
yet often neglected relationship between environmental justice and
urban resilience. Many scholars have argued that resilient cities
are more just cities. But what if the process of increasing the
resilience of the city as a whole happens at the expense of the
rights of certain groups? If urban resilience focuses on the degree
to which cities are able to reorganise in creative ways and adapt
to shocks, do pervasive inequalities in access to environmental
services have an effect on this ability? This book brings together
an interdisciplinary and intergeneration group of scholars to
examine the contradictions and tensions that develop as they play
out in cities of the Global South through a series of empirically
grounded case studies spanning cities of Asia, Latin America,
Africa and Eastern Europe.
